"Ernst is an experienced guy so he knows his story. We are expecting a big fight from them so we have to be up for a battle.

"Of course they are under pressure. They are the biggest club in the country and haven't won in a long time."

Wits go into the clash high on confidence after their 2-1 come-from-behind win over Free State Stars. Chiefs on the other hand will still be feeling the sting of their 2-1 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns at the weekend.

Coach Pitso Mosimane has already singled out Wits as title favourites due to their form and nonparticipation in CAF competitions.

The university outfit are the league leaders with 33 points from 16 games while Chiefs have dropped down to eighth with 21 points from the same number of games.

With Mosimane and others seeing Wits as the team to beat in the race for glory, Hunt said he was not thinking too far ahead.
